Problem in compiling Xara 0.5 b1199

>Do you have a file: binreloc.m4 ?
Yes, I do.

In that case, are you able to work out why you were not picking up the AM_BINRELOC macros. Perhaps this has suddently started to work! This is the third report that I have seen on this topic, and I have no idea what is happening!

>Are you using an experimental version of gcc?
No, I am not. I use Gcc ver 4.1.0, which goes by default in Suse 10.1

I am using 4.0 and, IIRC, 3.3. It is possible that gcc 4.10 is producing more warnings and error messages in the case of code that is just 'over the edge' rather than close to ther edge. You may want to take this to developers' list to find out if anybody else is seeing this. If any of the messages correspond to code that has an easy and obviously correct fix, then you might want to post the patches as well!

So, the problem seems to be related to libxml, doesn't it? And what about wxWidgets warning messages in the output of make? Is there a chance that I failed to build wxWidgets correctly?

Your build is probably OK. The type punned messages are probably harmless, but they do mean that you have allowed the compiler and the optimiser to make assumptions about the alignment or life span of variables and that correct code cannot be guaranteed.

You might want to look on the wx list.

My guess is that we will have to move onto a later version of wxWidgets rather soon ...
